53 lbs gained while pregnant: 48 lbs gone! w/pics

I'm always motivated by seeing other people's progress, so I'm only posting this in hopes that I can motivate someone. As a woman, I have that one week a month where I don't feel like doing anything. Well, this is my week. I usually put my girls on the bus in the morning and get my exercise in before my 9 month old wakes up. Well, this morning (and yesterday!), I put them on the bus then sat down to read my phone and drink my coffee. I told myself I wasn't going to work out because I didn't feel like it. This morning after a few minutes of sitting there, I told myself to "Get up!! Just do it! You won't regret it!" So, I got up. And I got it done!

It took me 9 months to gain 53 lbs and 9 months to lose 48 lbs. I didn't hit my goal of losing the 53 lbs in 9 months, but I'm pretty dang close! I lost 30 of it naturally, and I've lost 18 since January 1st.

It took me a while to get into the swing of things with myfitnesspal and Fitbit. I finally found my groove by disconnecting the two accounts! Eating back my exercise calories was really messing me up! I have 83 lbs to go to hit my goal weight which I've been trying to reach for the past 4 years! I feel like this is my time! Wish me luck! :-)
